Anyone know if the shots still are cross reactive with antibody tests.....? If so what's the time to wait after a shot to take an antibody test ?

Had my own question answered .From Hiv specialist office: Flu shots may give false positives or intermediate results on antibody tests only .
WesternBlot and viral load tests are not affected . After 45 days it is ok to resume antibody testing.
